Try and find the nearest match to what you want to do in your organisation. See if you can fit there. Try and understand the skill gap.

I have found writing blogs on Financial aspects to be helpful. You don't have to write daily. It is nice way for a recruiter to know the candidate. On your blog show that you have reached conclusions in a coherent manner over a period of time. If not today, eventually this will help you to get to your place.

And yes persistence helps.
